This year, 12 pupils from Years 7 and 8 showcased their oratory skills in the Beaton Declamation. We were thrilled to have Kevin Beaton back at the school to judge this inspiring competition. Speeches ranged from topics including sport (cricket and South African rugby), the rise of Temu, TikTok, the Collatz conjecture, books vs screens for education, black holes, the Dyson sphere, age ratings, and why dogs make such loving pets. 

Congratulations to William A from Year 7 for winning with his engaging and humorous talk on the benefits of bird watching.  

All participants spoke exceptionally well and impressed us with their presentations. Great job, everyone! 🎤👏
